1. A functional electrical stimulation system providing coordinated and natural movements for people or animals with motor system damage, comprising:
at least one electrical stimulation device delivering a configurable electrostimulation signal to form dynamic stimulation curves through at least one stimulation channel by means of repositionable electrodes, and at least one main processor, which communicates with a first communication unit, with a high voltage generator and with a current controller, which are powered by a first power source, wherein the current controller comprises a current sensor and a closed loop controller for obtaining an analogic control;
at least one sensing device bi-directionally connected to the electrical stimulation device, wherein the sensing device comprises at least one processor to a second communication unit and at least one set of independent sensors collecting information, fed by a second power source; the sensing device processes and transmits said information to predictively stimulate according to the user needs;
a computational device bi-directionally connected to the electrical stimulation device, wherein the computational device comprises a display screen, a configuration unit and a third communication unit allowing information exchange with the electrical stimulation device; and
wherein the first, second and third communication units are wireless and use radio frequency.
